Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
